Former West Indian captain Clive Lloyd has said that he was surprised in India's 0-4 whitewash in the Test series against England. He blamed poor preparation of Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men as the main reason for the debacle. Lloyd made his comments in London yesterday. Lloyd who is chairman of ICC Cricket Committee, was there to announce the names of shortlisted players for various awards for the ICC Awards ceremony on September 12. He said no team can come to any country and play just one warm up game. He said young players especially need 3 to 4 four-day games before Tests. Lloyd, who led possibly the strongest cricket team ever in the history of the game in the 1970s and 80s, also criticised a few senior players for giving the series against West Indies before the England tour a complete miss.
